Hello again @Curt Smith and @Ken Rishel, I just realised that maybe I should take a step back and ask the question, is providing owner occupant seller financing possible or worthwhile as an investor's business model?  

I then realised, it was time to start minding my own business, indeed.When it comes to real estate, I am a newbie, I know most of the basics and still learn to become confident.I am serious about investing in real estate as I feel this is something I will enjoy doing like a hobby while making my way to financial freedom and most importantly having control over my life.I am planning to make my first wholesale investment by the end of this year [starting with low money].

HiJust realised I had better introduce myself before I get entirely lost in the volumes of reading available in here.

Failure to do this can result in per-diem fines.There will also be a withholding on the capital gains taxes realised from the sale.More information can be found at the CRA Website.DeathHow things proceed upon death will depend upon how you hold (own) the property.  

As a kid my brother and the other boys in my neighborhood would watch A-team and MacGyver because they realised that there was always component left out when they would construct their diversions and explosions.

@Diana B.If you will be purchasing property in the U.S.A. while residing in Canada, then before you even get on a plane, you need to figure out your long term strategy (i.e. to you plan to keep all earnings in-country to grow your business or do you need to bring the money home) and the best organisational structure to fit your current situation and help you realise your objectives.If you search Canadians buying real estate in the US here on BP you will find several threads which raise some of the ownership considerations when investing abroad (control of repatriation of funds; taxation; liability, etc).  

I realise I'm simplifying in the above with my numbers - but these are  meant just as examples.

COVID got in the way then I realised it was not COVID but fear paralysis.

I just realised that a residential developer purchased about 20 acres right across the street from where those lots are.

Hi Chad, OK, I didn't realise that.
